Wow! Sometimes I forget how hard core some people are. Now here's a picture of a Hello Kitty Pimped out car. Look at that pink dashboard!?! The owner means business. I personally love the Hello Kitty steering wheel. Too cool for words.

Now with all that Kanye West and Taylor Swift gossip we forgot something extremely important. Beyonce and her rockin hot outfit for the VMAs. Not only did she rock her outfit her performance was amazing. Beyonce is fit for sure. Double kudos to Beyonce for showing major class for letting Taylor finish her speech.

So during a off the record interview President Obama called Kanye West a jackass for stealing Taylor Swift's spotlight. This happened before the official interview between CNBC's John Harwood and the President. The President is asked whether his daughters were annoyed by Kanye stealing Taylor's spotlight. The President says that it was inappropriate and that Taylor seems like a perfectly nice person. Then the President is asked why Kanye did it. The reply, "he's a jackass." Now this draws lots of laughter. Of course the President catches himself and says "come on guys. Give the President a break I've got a lot on my plate right now." However, a former White House correspondent Terry Moran decided it would be oh so clever and log onto his Twitter and tweet about it. Now the tweet was later deleted about an hour after but we all know how fast a tweet can go. (Rob Pattinson hasn't seen peace in a year)

Is Kanye a jackass? YesDid Taylor get her moment ruined? YesShould the President have the right to his own opinion? I think so.Is Terry Moran is a jackass? Yesssssssss

Hahahahahaha. Okay okay here's the story. So Wells Fargo fired a senior vice president after investigating that she held lavish parties at a foreclosed beachfront Malibu house owned by the bank. Cheronda Guyton must be part of the dumbest people club. Why on earth would you think that using a company owned home for your own personal use ever be acceptable? Well Cheronda is paying the price now. I wonder who will hire her now? "Why did you leave Wells Fargo?" "I was let go for violating a company policy." "Which policy was it" "Oh no biggie I just used a foreclosed home to throw ROCKIN parties. You know the ones where guest arrive in a yacht."

Kudos to Wells Fargo for taking action. The People need to know that the system is not being taken advantage of and that people who take advantage of others will get punished.

1. Green leafy vegetablesEat them raw, throw them into a broth, add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps swab out environmental toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and protects the liver.

2. LemonsYou need to keep the fluids flowing to wash out the body and fresh lemonade is ideal. Its vitamin C, considered the detox vitamin, helps convert toxins into a water-soluble form that's easily flushed away.

3. WatercressPut a handful into salads, soups, and sandwiches. The peppery little green leaves have a diuretic effect that helps move things through your system. And cress is rich in minerals too.

4. GarlicAdd it to everything -- salads, sauces, spreads. In addition to the bulb's cardio benefits, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk.

5. Green teaThis antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. Bonus: It contains catechins, which speed up liver activity.

6. Broccoli sproutsGet 'em at your health-food store. They pack 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.

7. Sesame seedsThey're credited with protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of alcohol and other chemicals. For a concentrated form, try tahini, the yummy sesame seed paste that's a staple of Asian cooking.

8. CabbageThere are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them. Coleslaw, anyone?

9. PsylliumA plant that's rich in soluble fiber, like oat bran, but more versatile. It mops up toxins (cholesterol too) and helps clear them out. Stir powdered psyllium into juice to help cleanse your colon, or have psyllium-fortified Bran Buds for breakfast.

10. Fruits, fruits, fruits (easy on these if you're low carbing)They're full of almost all the good things above: vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and all kinds of antioxidants. Besides, nothing tastes better than a ripe mango, fresh berries, or a perfect pear.

This list was from Fitness with Vanessa. It sounds easy and do-able but lets see.

Yes, Michelle straightens her hair but I never knew all the issues that came with it. The straight, curly, extensions, wig, chemicals, hot comb, etc. I recently read that it is a big issue among famous African American women. These women are judge on how they wear their hair.

I have worked out 7 time out of the last 9 days and 3 of those workouts were with a trainer. Vanessa is beyond awesome. Her workouts are intense but you feel like you have sweat a pound after each workout. Oh snap I have! So in the last 9 days I have lost 3 pounds. The goal is to keep those pounds off and lose more. I am learning that cardio is a huge keep to my success. Got to keep that heart rate up.

The other part is a clean diet. Now this part is super hard. I love to eat! I wish I was born a super picky eater like my friend Jamie (who I love). But I wasn't and food can be my enemy. Eatting at home seems to be a good way of controlling what I eat. Packing lunch is also a key. (oh and I am pretty sure packing leftover from a restuarant is a no bueno unless it's your cheat day) Snacks such as nuts can be depressing. But ... eye on the prize! On cheat days I am working on portion control. Last night at Jen's birthday dinner I only ate half my tappenyaki and save the rest (oh and I ate 2 portions of salad. Rianne wanted no salad so I ate hers). Lots of water. I have been told to eat lots of protein which is another one of my problems. Meat is not a fave for me. However, protein shakes are not so bad. Chocolate is pretty yummy. But I am only taking protein after a workout. I am still too scared to drink it any other time for fear of gaining weight. I have also learned that juice is bad. Vanessa and Kenny have also informed that orange juice is bad. Sad! Looks like H2O is the only way.

Thursday is the hair appointment. I wonder if it's too early for a makeover in that department yet.

I also want to get some organizing and decorating done. We have moved in over a year and I still feel like things are a mess. Sad. Where do women find the time to do everything?

In New Zealand a company fired a employee for send confrontational emails. The employee was formating in a variety of red, bold, and all caps text. Other employees complained and she got fired! However she did get the last laugh by suing the company and winning $17,000 in lost wages.

What has our society come to? A pole dancing doll? Really? Now I don't have any kids but you can be damn sure I would never by my daughter a pole dancing doll. Now don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with women that pole dance. But this for sure is not appropriate for young girls. Who is the manufacture of this product? Need to do more research.
